We're going right back to press on issue #1 and they will be available in the next week or so. With #2 shipping in September, and the momentum building, we urge retailers to advance re-order #2's and order enough #3's. And check out the 2nd print cover to #1 with interior pages to #1. Thank you for all of your support!" states Dynamite President/Publisher Nick Barrucci.
